Learn how used Hastelloy reactors support chemical and pharma manufacturing with exceptional corrosion resistance and immediate availability from IPP.

IPP offers used Hastelloy reactors engineered to withstand extreme chemical corrosion, thermal stress, and pressure in the toughest industrial environments.

A guide to used corrosion-resistant reactor systems

With more than 47 years of experience and over 15,000 pieces of process equipment across 20 global plant sites, IPP offers fast access to reliable Hastelloy reactors built for continuous service in aggressive processing environments. These reactors are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty manufacturing where stainless steel components degrade too quickly.

Hastelloy reactors are a top choice in industries requiring high resistance to chlorides, acids, and oxidizers. Their inert surfaces and strength under pressure make them a key asset in:

  • API and pharmaceutical intermediate production
  • Chlorinated solvent and halogenated compound manufacturing
  • Fine chemical synthesis and specialty coatings
  • High-purity biotech and fermentation processes

Because of their high nickel and molybdenum content, Hastelloy reactors perform well when processing:

  • Nitric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acid
  • Halogens like chlorine and bromine
  • Mixed oxidizer solutions
  • Acid slurries and reactive organic solvents

These properties allow Hastelloy vessels to resist localized corrosion, including pitting and crevice corrosion, even in high-temperature environments.

IPP’s inventory includes reactors constructed from:

  • Hastelloy C-22 and C-276 (the most common corrosion-resistant grades)
  • Dual-material or clad systems for added strength
  • Specialty-lined reactors for highly reactive compounds

IPP customers choose Hastelloy reactors for a combination of performance, purity, and reliability in corrosive environments:

  • Corrosion resistance: Handles acids, halogens, and oxidizers
  • High-purity performance: Suitable for pharma and biotech
  • Alloy options in stock: C-22, C-276, and other grades
  • Immediate availability: No fabrication delays
  • Engineering support: Specs, documentation, and logistics provided

Why is Hastelloy preferred over stainless steel in corrosive applications?

It offers superior resistance to acids and oxidizers that typically break down stainless steel, especially in continuous-use systems.

Are Hastelloy reactors compliant with pharmaceutical standards?

Yes. Many are previously used in GMP environments and can meet purity and validation requirements.

Does IPP provide documentation for used reactors?

Yes. Specs, materials of construction, and prior service details are available for most units in stock.
